We are proud to present 2750 Raymond Avenue, a one of a kind 5-bedroom + 5-bathroom Craftsman residence spanning approximately 3,104 square feet on an oversized 7,246 square foot lot. Built in 1908 by Naldo Francis Stokes, the Maly-Smith Residence is a rare Swiss Chalet-style Craftsman offering gracious, spacious living across three levels. Inside, discover exposed wood beams, original built-ins, and a sculptural red brick fireplace anchoring the living room. The entryway and staircase showcase Old World mortise-and-tenon joinery, a nod to the Japanese influence on early California Craftsman design. Period charm continues throughout the home, from the expansive covered front porch and formal dining room to a library/den with a ceramic fireplace surround and multiple enclosed sleeping porches. A California basement and sunlit attic (not included in the listed square footage) offer flexible bonus space, ideal as a studio or private office. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a new roof, electrical, and plumbing, along with fresh California native and drought-tolerant landscaping, blending historic character with modern livability. This property also presents a compelling opportunity for a savvy owner: the home may qualify for the property-tax-saving Mills Act designation, and the advantageous LARD2 zoning opens the door to exploring additional structures on the lot (buyer to verify). There is an existing shed towards the back of the lot, which has potential to be converted to an ADU. Ideally located within the USC DPS patrol zone, 2750 Raymond Avenue offers convenient access to Downtown LA and major entertainment and sports destinations, including the USC Coliseum, BMO Stadium, and the Expo Line.
